Ingredients

1 4-5 pound Whole Chicken
2 teaspoons Lemon Pepper
2 teaspoons Salt
1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
3 cloves Garlic peeled
1 whole Lemon cut in half
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil

Instructions

Prepare the whole chicken by removing the innards from the chest cavity. Use a paper towel to pat dry both inside and out.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the lemon pepper, salt, dried thyme, and garlic powder. Mix well, then use your hands to rub the mixture all over the chicken. Place the peeled garlic cloves and half of a lemon inside the breast cavity. Tie legs together if desired.
To keep the chicken from resting on the bottom of the slow cooker, place a small wire rack or 4 balls of aluminum foil.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until an internal thermometer reads 165 degrees in the thickest part of the breast.
Preheat the oven broiler about 30 minutes before the chicken is done cooking. Once the chicken has cooked through, place the whole chicken on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and broil for about 2 minutes, or until the chicken skin is golden and crispy. Be sure to keep a close eye so that it doesn't burn!
Remove chicken from the broiler and let rest for at least 15 minutes before squeezing with fresh lemon juice, then carving or shredding. Enjoy!
